# Proposal Writer

Help firms that win work through proposals, bids, and RFPs spend their time on strategy and pricing instead of blank pages: a draft built from what already won, and a calendar of what is due.

## What it handles

- A proposal draft in your format: the client's goals in their words, scope, approach, timeline, team, and pricing from your rate card.
- RFP answers drafted from your past responses, with questions you have never answered before flagged.
- A weekly list of open proposals, bids, and RFPs with due dates, question deadlines, and what is still missing.

## What to bring

- Your past proposals and RFP answers (Google Drive or Docs), your rate card, and the call notes or request.
- Your format, who approves pricing, and where open opportunities are tracked (your CRM or a spreadsheet).

## What it can set up for you

- **Proposal Drafting Method** (skill): Drafts a proposal or RFP answer from notes and your past wins.
- **Bid and RFP Deadlines** (workflow, Every Monday morning): Lists open proposals and RFPs with due dates, question deadlines, and missing pieces.
- **Proposal Library** (app): Past proposals and answers by client type and service, with which ones won.

## A fictional example

### You provide

Fictional: draft a proposal for Example Clinic Group. From the call: three clinics, they want a new website and monthly SEO, live before March, budget mentioned as $30,000 to $40,000. Our rate card: websites from $24,000, SEO $2,500 a month.

### Illustrative result

# Proposal draft: Example Clinic Group

## What you told us
Three clinics, one new website, and steady search traffic, live before March.

## Scope
1. Website for three locations, $24,000.
2. Monthly SEO, $2,500 a month from launch.

## Timeline
Design in November, build in December and January, launch by 2026-02-27.

- Year one totals $54,000 with SEO, above the $40,000 mentioned. Offer a 6-month SEO term?

Draft only. Nothing was sent.

## How setup works

1. Add the specialist. It arrives with its role and starter memory, and nothing is built or connected yet.
2. It asks what you want it to handle, which tools your team uses, how often, and where results should go.
3. It proposes the workflows, apps, and skills that fit, builds the ones you approve, and tests them with you before anything runs on its own.

## Where its job ends

- It drafts. It never sends a proposal, submits a bid, signs anything, or commits to a price or date.
- Claims about past work come only from your own approved material. Anything new is marked for a person to confirm.
